Etymology

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *kleveta.

Usually compared with Proto-Slavic *klьvati (to peck, pick (of a bird)), which was supported by Vasmer. However Preobrazhenskiy pointed to semantic differences while Trubachev claimed a deverbal noun from such a thematic verb would have been **klьvota (like зевота) and proposed a better comparison with dialectal Czech kleviti(se) (to gossip) and Arkhangelsk dialectal Russian клевить (klevitʹ, to tease, pester).
